hid them nicely.

Is there some negative airfow problems w that solution?
Added complexity and perhaps 1c of added cost to manufacture. I had Pontiac Safari once, 1986 model and it had such feature too, but I was told it was rather unreliable mechanism. I managed to do better than 26mpg on long trips with that one, but I doubt hiding wipers had much to do with that
